Traveling around Seoul with a heavy suitcase can get exhausting pretty quickly.
If you’re staying near Mapo or passing through Gongdeok Station, there are luggage lockers inside the station where you can leave your bags while exploring Seoul.
I visited Gongdeok Station myself in August 2026 and checked the lockers in person, including the exact location, prices, operating hours, and instructions for storing and retrieving luggage.
Here’s what you need to know.
Where are the luggage lockers at Gongdeok Station?
The lockers are located between Exit 2 and Exit 5 at Gongdeok Station.
Look for the central escalator and staircase area inside the station. The lockers are positioned nearby, across from the 7-Eleven convenience store.
If you’re carrying a heavy suitcase, there’s an easier way to find them:
Look for the 7-Eleven first.
Once you reach this area, the large white lockers are easy to spot along the station concourse.
The location code displayed above the lockers is TL626B.

How to use the luggage lockers
The lockers use the T locker mobile system.
There are instructions in both Korean and English at the station, which makes the process much easier for international travelers.
To store your luggage:
- Download the T locker app and allow the required permissions.
- Scan the QR code at the lockers or enter the location code.
- Choose an available locker.
- Complete the payment on your phone.
- Check the OTP provided through the app.
- Enter the OTP on the locker keypad.
- Put your luggage inside and close the locker securely.
The OTP begins with a # symbol, so enter the code exactly as it appears in the app.
Before walking away, double-check that the locker door is completely closed.
How to retrieve your luggage
When you return, open My Locker in the app and select Retrieve.
If you’ve exceeded the original rental period, you’ll need to pay the additional fee first.
After payment, check the new OTP, enter it on the locker keypad, and retrieve your belongings.
Gongdeok Station locker operating hours
The posted operating hours are:
05:00 – 24:00
You cannot store or retrieve luggage outside these operating hours, so keep this in mind if you have a very early flight or return to the station late at night.
Customer support: 1877-1265
The posted information says phone support is available from 06:00 to 24:00.
There is also a QR code for multilingual live chat support, which can be useful if you don’t speak Korean.
How long can you leave your luggage?
According to the notice posted at the lockers, luggage can be stored for up to 5 days.
If an item is left beyond the permitted period, it may be moved to separate storage. The posted notice lists a ₩49,000 monthly storage fee for separately stored items.
For most travelers, though, these lockers make the most sense for short-term storage while sightseeing, shopping, or waiting for hotel check-in.
What can’t you store?
The posted rules prohibit certain items, including:
- Flammable materials
- Explosives and weapons
- Perishable food
- Batteries and chemicals
For normal travel items such as suitcases, backpacks, and shopping bags, the lockers are a convenient option.
Is Gongdeok Station luggage storage convenient?
Yes — especially if you’re already staying around Gongdeok or Mapo, or if Gongdeok Station is on your route through Seoul.
One of the biggest advantages is that you don’t need to leave the station and search for a separate luggage storage shop.
And once you know the landmark, finding the lockers is fairly straightforward.
Exits 2 & 5 area → central stairs/escalator → 7-Eleven → luggage lockers
That’s probably the easiest route to remember.
If you have a few hours before hotel check-in or after check-out, leaving your suitcase here can make exploring Seoul much easier.
